Garden Group
Join us on Thursday mornings to help create a community garden here at the Heart of Newhaven!
We are here from 10am-1pm and would love for you to get involved! You are welcome to drop in for any amount of time in those hours.
Children are welcome to get involved, though parents are responsible for them while they are at the garden.
Make sure you dress for the weather - we'll most likely only move inside if it's truly terrible outside!
Hope to see you there 🙂
Please email admin@heartofnewhaven.co.uk for further info.
Cyrenians Lunch Club
The Cyrenians try to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness and the launch of the new lunch club is simply one part of that.

They’ll be serving a nutritious two-course meal along with tea/coffee. Some weeks there will also be entertainment to enjoy!
Simply turn up. There’s no need to book unless you have specific dietary requirements they need to know of in advance, in which case contact amandasomerville@cyrenians.scot or call 0131 554 3900

A Spectacular Start to 2025: Triple Bill at Leith Folk Club!
A Spectacular Start to 2025: Triple Bill at Leith Folk Club!
Tuesday, 21 January 2025
Leith Folk Club is kicking off the new year in style with a triple bill featuring three top class international acts on Tuesday, 21 January. This promises to be a night of superb live music, showcasing exceptional talent and captivating performances, right here in the middle of our community.
🎸 Alec Stone Sweet
Renowned for his mastery of the Clawhammer guitar technique, Alec Stone Sweet blends Appalachian and Celtic traditions into a timeless and innovative sound. Acoustic Guitar magazine has described his work as “entrancing” and “compulsory listening for guitar fans.” Alec’s rich, rhythmic playing and evocative storytelling have made him a standout performer, and his return to Leith Folk Club is not to be missed!

🎤 Seren Spain
Seren Spain, a second-generation Irish Australian musician, began her journey after inheriting her great-grandfather's fiddle. Her music is steeped in her rich heritage and shaped by years of studying under renowned tutors and performing at festivals. A multi-instrumentalist, Seren weaves piano, guitar, and her evocative voice into a tapestry of sounds that bring her vivid storytelling to life. With her debut EP on the horizon and fresh from Ireland’s Your Roots Are Showing folk conference, Seren is excited to bring her heartfelt songs to the Leith Folk Club stage.

🌏 Kris Mizzi
Awarded the 2021 Australian Folk Alliance Solo Artist of the Year and Troubadour Prize winner, Kris Mizzi is one of Australia’s most compelling folk voices. With an unforgettable vocal delivery and a distinctive picking style, his intimate performances are infused with beauty, honesty, and powerful storytelling. Recently returned from Nashville, where he began crafting material for an international release, Kris is poised to make his mark globally. Having showcased at Ireland’s Your Roots Are Showing conference, he’s now on his UK and Ireland tour, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to Leith Folk Club for a night of soulful, world-class folk music.
